Selection

By default, the selection feature of the ListView is disabled.

Getting Started

The ListView supports the item selection functionality by setting the selectable property to either "single" or "multiple".

$("#listView").kendoListView({
    dataSource: dataSource,
    selectable: "multiple",
    template: kendo.template($("#template").html())
});

Advanced Configuration

You can also detect when users pick up items through the change event which is triggered upon their selecting one or more items with the Shift+ select combination.

$("#listView").kendoListView({
    change: function(e) {
        var data = dataSource.view();
        var selected = $.map(this.select(), function(item) {
            return data[$(item).index()].ProductName;
        });

        // Index selected or read item information through data.
    }
});

The following example demonstrates the full implementation of the suggested approach.

<div id="listView" style="max-height:400px;overflow:auto;"></div>
<div class="k-pager">
    <div id="pager"></div>
</div>

<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="template">
    <div class="product">
        <img src="https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/content/web/foods/#= ProductID #.jpg" alt="Kendo UI for jQuery ListView #: ProductName # " />
        <h3>#:ProductName#</h3>
        <p>#:kendo.toString(UnitPrice, "c")#</p>
    </div>
</script>

<script>
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Products",
            dataType: "jsonp"
        }
    },
    pageSize: 3
});

$("#pager").kendoPager({
    dataSource: dataSource
});

$("#listView").kendoListView({
    selectable: true,
    dataSource: dataSource,
    template: kendo.template($("#template").html())
});
</script>

<style>
    .alt { background-color: #EEE; }
</style>
